ADVISORY ON EDUCATION DEGREE AND TSC REQUIREMENTS
The Teachers Service Commission (TSC) has revised the academic qualifications required for individuals intending to pursue a degree in education.
To avoid future disappointments, kindly take note of the following updated requirements and share this information with young people interested in the teaching profession:
Minimum Grades:
B- in both Mathematics and English.
C+ in the teaching subjects of interest.
C+ as the overall mean grade in KCSE.
BRIDGING COURSES:
Bridging courses will not be accepted to meet these requirements.
PREVIOUS REQUIREMENT:
Previously, candidates needed a minimum of C+ as an overall mean grade and C+ in the teaching subjects.
Minimum Grades:
D+ in Mathematics.
C in English.
C+ as the overall mean grade in KCSE.
Do not enroll for education courses without meeting the above requirements, as you will not qualify for a TSC registration number upon graduation.
Be cautious, as some universities may still offer education courses to students who do not meet the stipulated qualifications due to negligence.
Such graduates will face challenges obtaining their TSC numbers.
Graduates who completed their education degree or diploma under the previous requirements but have not yet obtained a TSC number are strongly advised to apply for it immediately.
Delays in processing the TSC number could result in complications with the new changes being implemented.

WHAT HAPPENS TO TEACHERS WHO TRAINED IN THE PREVIOUS QUALIFICATIONS WHERE A P1 CERTIFICATE WOULD QUALIFY YOU TO UNDERTAKE A DEGREE COURSE?
MY CASE IS EXACTLY THAT,I GOT A C PLAIN IN O LEVEL AND PROCEEDED TO P1 COURSE AT NAROK TEACHERS TRAINING COLLEGE,HOWEVER,DURING KIBAKIS REGIME,I JOINED UNIVERSITY TO DO BIOLOGY AND AGRICULTURE WHICH I HAD MINIMUM SCORES REQUIRED TO TEACH THE TWO SUBJECT (C+ AND B PLAIN)
I ALREADY HAVE A TSC NUMBER BUT RECRUITMENTS ARE NOT FAVOURING ME,SHOULD I BE SACRIFICED FOR NOT HAVING JOINED PUBLIC (TSC) SCHOOL EARLIER?
